Winter Classes & Programs Coming Soon

“Thank you! My sons are really enjoying the clinic and I’ve seen both of them attempt things they have been learning while playing in the yard or on the actual game field. Each kid seems to be perpetually grinning (or intensely concentrating!) and even on the side watching, the two hours really seem to fly by”
~Kathy

Get Ready for Winter 2024-2025!


Our Winter 2023-2024 schedule will be available soon! We'll have options for everyone, all carefully designed with an eye towards player development. Indoor classes are offered in two separate 7-week seasons, with weekday and weekend options available. Winter I starts Thursday, Nov. 30 and ends Sunday, Jan. 28. (There will be no classes Dec. 18-Jan. 2.) Winter II runs Feb. 1 through March 17, with no skipped weeks. Both seasons will open for registration at the same time.

  • Soccer on Demand: Private training or custom mini groups, with days/times/locations that work for you
  • Lil' Boots Playgroups: Gather a group of friends, classmates, teammates or neighbors and enjoy a fun, active introduction to soccer on your schedule. We'll even help you find an indoor (or outdoor) location.

About Our Waitlists

Space is limited and classes in both indoor winter sessions fill extremely quickly. When a program is full, we automatically start a waitlist and stay in contact with those families. If we are unable to accommodate your player, we will refund your registration fee in full.

Programs

Here are some of the classes we offer.

  • Expert Training (9-13 & 14-18)

    Our flagship winter clinic series is back! Each class in this 7-week series is taught by a different nationally known coach with extensive experience developing top-tier players. These experts don't farm the hard work out to junior staff -- each actively plans and runs their own session, sharing their unique experiences, philosophies and methods directly with young up-and-coming players.

  • StreetSoccer (9-13)

    Informal scrimmages on neighborhood streets are where many of the best soccer players around the world got their start.  Our StreetSoccer program builds on this to feature a variety of fun pickup-style games using different size teams, goals and balls. This "hidden curriculum" creates a fun, low-stakes environment where players improve creativity, ball control, 1v1 skills, and confidence.

  • Travel Prep (8-12)

    Designed for players who are aiming for travel team tryouts in the spring, or for those who are ready for more of a challenge. Our carefully crafted curriculum is designed to further develop ball control, passing and receiving, shooting, and more -- the skills coaches are looking for. We also cover tryout preparedness, how to organize your warmup, and other techniques to help players stand out and do their best. 

  • Art of Scoring Goals (9-13)

    Learn a variety of shooting techniques, enhance power and accuracy, develop an ability to get into scoring positions, learn goalkeeper's vulnerabilities, increase awareness in front of the goal, and build confidence as a goal scorer. The program is suitable for players in all field positions and not just forwards.

  • Positive Touch Footskills (9-13)

    Players will master their “touch” on the ball, laying the foundation for every dribble, pass, and shot. It is designed to give players thousands of touches on the ball and allows players to develop a variety of dribbling methods, learn crafty moves, be creative and build confidence.

  • Goalkeeper Training (8-13)

    Goalkeeper Training teachers players to confidently and successfully repel attacks, by developing specific technical, physical, and cognitive skill sets,  including ball handling, reaction time, positioning, footwork and more.

  • Ball Mastery (7-8)

    A vital "bridge" between introductory classes and more advanced technical training, developed with young players in mind. The program consists of age-appropriate activities centered around the fundamental skills of the game to ensure a smooth transition to the next level. 

  • Lil' Boots Advanced (5-6)

    Suitable for both slightly older beginners and those who have had some earlier exposure to soccer, Lil' Boots Advanced is an active, age-appropriate, fun introduction to soccer for school-aged players. They will learn fundamental skills through creative activities and challenges, plus explore the concept of team play in a positive, supportive way. They will develop physical skills like coordination and balance, plus important cognitive skills like listening, communication, and problem-solving.

  • Lil' Boots Juniors (3-4)

    Lil’ Boots Juniors is the perfect introduction to the wonderful game of soccer. The program is designed to initiate a positive experience while teaching the fundamentals of the game through fun storytelling activities.


Lil' Boots Playgroups

Custom classes for ages 3-6 on YOUR schedule.

Lil' Boots Playgroups are the perfect way to keep your child active and connected with friends. Friends, neighbors, teammates, classmates -- they can all form a Playgroup that makes your life easier, not harder!


We use our innovative, active, engaging Lil' Boots curriculum to help young players develop true soccer fundamentals and a love of the game, while developing coordination, confidence, and communication and social skills.


Starting your Lil' Boots Playgroups is easy!


  • You spread the word to friends, neighbors, classmates, etc.
  • Pick start dates, stop dates, and even skip dates that fit your calendar and your life.
  • We provide a positive, engaged, kid-focused and masked trainer at a regular place and time that works for everyone.
  • Hold a class in a nearby park (we'll reserve it), at your school, or even in your own backyard.
  • Pricing is affordable and based on the number of players. The more players who join, the less everyone pays per session.
